— What You Can Expect —

• Ouchi-juku (Ouchi post town)
  
  Explore one of Japan's three largest thatched-roof villages, as renowned as
  Shirakawa-go and Kyoto's Miyama. Once a bustling Edo-period post station, it
  served as a key transportation hub for the Aizu Domain.

  
  

• Ginzan Hot Spring Street
  
  Visit the popular hot spring house "Notoya," the inspiration for Hayao
  Miyazaki's "Spirited Away." Known since the Edo period for its healing waters,
  the area retains its historic charm. Stroll through the hot spring street and
  enjoy a soak in a foot bath or public bath. Stop by the free "Waraku Foot
  Bath" at the street entrance, where you can warm your feet after walking in
  the snow while taking in the serene winter scenery.

  
  

• Zao Juhyo (Snow Monster/ Frost covered trees)
  
  Take the ropeway up Zao Mountain, stopping at three stations: Zao's base,
  Juhyo Plateau, and Zao Jizo Mountain. Enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of the
  Juhyo from the cable car, with close encounters at the mountaintop
  observatory. Savor the breathtaking scenery from the mountaintop restaurant.
